One of Us is Lying

A review I read for this book described it as "Pretty Little Liars" meets "The Breakfast Club".
Sold!
It was so good, too, definitely did not disappoint. Bronwyn, Addy, Nate, Cooper, and Simon find themselves in detention one afternoon, for having cell phones in Mr. Avery's class. They all insist the phones found in their backpacks weren't theirs, but to no avail. A minor car crash in the parking lot distracts them momentarily, and then Simon takes a drink of water from a cup and goes into anaphylactic shock: turns out he's allergic to peanuts. Not only is his EpiPen gone, *all* the EpiPens in the nurse's office have disappeared as well. Simon dies later at the hospital, and the other four are  suspects in his suspicious death. Simon had an app where he spread school gossip, and each of the four seemingly perfect students had a big secret to hide that he was threatening to expose. Each of them had a motive. So who did it? Great twist I didn't (but probably should have) seen coming.
